The University College of The Caribbean (UCC), is Jamaica’s largest privately held tertiary education consortium. UCC was established in January 2004 from an amalgamation of the Institute of Management Sciences (IMS) and the Institute of Management and Production (IMP). In preparing students for an increasingly complex and diverse society, the UCC has developed a number of programmes to provide the knowledge and skills to help students succeed within a world community. Their range of programmes cover local Associate and Bachelor degrees and overseas Bachelor and Master degree programmes, offered in partnership with internationally recognized universities such as the Florida International University, Florida Memorial University and the University of London

In the early 1990s, Jamaica was faced with what seemed then to be an insoluble problem: The country was losing thousands of young, ambitious individuals who sought higher education opportunities overseas because there were not many recognised higher education programmes on the island for further development

The College embraces the philosophy of holistic development of the human being. The College aims to develop and empower the minds of the learning community. This is achieved by guiding the learner into a zone of creative thinking that then leads to independent learnering.

There are three Schools in the College through which our academic qualifications are offered. The programmes are offered in full-time, part-time and mixed modes, as well as some are offered on UCC-Online.
